In an interview about this initiative, Trudeau elaborated his stance by saying, "Women don’t have to imagine not being able to access healthcare when they need it, they don’t have to imagine being denied the right to choose what’s best for their health and their future — for far too many people, that’s the reality, and that’s unacceptable.”

This initiative has a goal of empowering 18 million women and girls in developing nations worldwide over the decade it will be in place. The Women Deliver 2019 Conference is the largest gathering in the world that celebrates and promotes. gender equality and the health and well being of women and girls worldwide. Trudeau was a speaker as was his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau.
